Understanding Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI)

01

What is it?

SSDI is financial support for workers with disabilities, that’s paid monthly. It’s one of several Social Security programs covered by the FICA deductions that come out of every paycheck. Most people don’t really think about FICA deductions. But now, you know why they’re important.

02

Who is eligible?

Generally, when you qualify for SSDI, you: 1. have a medical condition that’s terminal or so severe that you can’t work for a year or more; 2. meet the Social Security’s definition of disabled including age, education and experience; and 3. have worked 5 out of the last 10 years.

03

How do you get it?

The Social Security Administration (SSA) accepts applications, reviews them, and decides who will be paid benefits. This sounds simple, but: remember the “definition of disabled” above? This can be difficult to evaluate, so there are extremely detailed documents, forms and often court hearings required to prove you’re disabled.
